Well, let me tell you, you guys have most certainly seen some crazy things. Here’s a collection of our favorite answers that you responded with…

“An airplane landing on a par 5 fairway!” — @lorihoeksema

“Back when I was caddying… Had a guy in a group die of a heart attack on 18. Same thing happened a few years before that. Odd thing was both times it was the same looper on the bag. We nicknamed him ‘the Grim Reaper.’” — @Kygolfnews

“Yesterday actually… my putt went a couple of inches past the hole… completely stopped for couple seconds… then rolled back into the hole. Easy bird.” — @CarsleyGolf

“Buddy drank 19 beers in 17 holes we were playing for about 20-25 a hole, he was down about 225 I said if he could hit a drive with his shirt over his head, we’d call it even. He whiffed and fell over three times.” — @bobos_bar

“I guy in my group years ago hits a high block, hits a roof, bounces up the roof once, then bounces three times going down the roof, hits a brick wall before bouncing back into play! He made par.” — @derbycaddy

“The guy that played David Justice in Moneyball tried to fight me during a city championship after he had hit his tee shot OB and I told him he had to go back and re-tee.” — @leezer99
